As the UK prepares for its sixth week of lockdown, the latest figures show that more than 1,000 people have died from COVID-19 in hospitals in and around Essex.

Tomorrow (Monday, April 27) the UK will enter its sixth week of lockdown and Boris Johnson will be returning to to work in Downing Street after a spell in hospital with coronavirus.

As the national lockdown continues, the government faces increasing pressure to reveal its lockdown exit strategy.

But until then, the public have been warned to stay indoors in order to adhere to the lockdown restrictions, which advise people to only leave their homes for essential reasons.

Yesterday, the Department of Health and Social Care announced that 669,552 people have been tested for Covid-19 across the UK, 148,377 of which have tested positive for the killer virus.

As of 5pm on April 24, 20,319 have died from coronavirus in hospitals across the country.

The regional figures from NHS England today (April 26), show that 1,218 have lost their lives after testing positive for coronavirus while under the care of eight NHS trusts in the region.

These death tolls do not include people who have died in care homes from the virus, or those who have passed away at home.

Basildon and Thurrock NHS Trust has seen the most deaths in Essex, while Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust has recorded the most deaths in the surrounding area with 320 confirmed since the start of the pandemic.
